Disabled employees are entitled to reasonable accommodations and fair treatment in the workplace. These rights are enshrined in both state and federal laws, reflecting a broader societal commitment to equality and justice. At the Law Office of Jeannette A. Vaccaro, we are dedicated advocates for the rights of disabled employees. Our Santa Rosa disability discrimination attorney’s mission is to help individuals receive the respect, dignity and legal protection they deserve. We work tirelessly to address and rectify situations where these rights are compromised, providing robust legal support to those affected by workplace discrimination.
Disability discrimination can manifest in various ways within the workplace. Common forms include harassment based on an employee’s disability, failure to provide reasonable accommodations and discriminatory practices during any stage of the employment process. Such discrimination might also involve denying disabled employees the same benefits or opportunities available to others, imposing regulations that disproportionately affect them or neglecting to engage in meaningful dialogue about necessary accommodations.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) are two pivotal laws protecting disabled employees from discrimination. These regulations mandate that employers must provide reasonable accommodations to qualified individuals with disabilities unless doing so would cause undue hardship. The ADA and FEHA also require employers to engage in an interactive process with employees to identify feasible accommodations that enable them to perform their job duties effectively.
